HOLY TORNADIC ACTION

There are some seriously crazy looking cells all over the Canadian Prairies this evening. No major cities are threatened at this time but there is more than one stationary type thunderstorms out there. Those are the worst kind. The biggest one is just hovering around the SASK/MAN border in south-east Saskatchewan. Heavy downpours and large hail are being reported. The other much smaller cells are in eastern Alberta and western Saskatchewan. They do not appear to be moving which mean they are rotating like crazy at ground level. The Earth does not stop rotating so a patch of cloud that is stuck to the ground must be rotating. The tops are not very big but this is a very dangerous situation. It is very cool here in Saskatoon and seems very stable. Once the sun sets however, these things are going to take-off. WATCH THIS WEATHER!

Forecast change

Environment Canada has suddenly changed the forecast for today in Saskatoon at 12:25pm. Thunderstorms are now a possibility. I have to get off the computer so the map may be late... these thunderstorms are expected to be weak but Canadian Prairie Storms Yahoo group will be on top of it!

Have a great weekend everyone.

Tornado in Alberta Today

My video forcast is not working on blogger so check it out on my site: saskatoonscanner.com

There was a tornado warning briefly this afternoon for areas just south of Edmonton and watches are up for most of central Alberta and areas around Swift Current, Saskatchewan. Clouds are still building and converging so there could still be a lot of severe weather to come. Heavy rains behind the main system may bring some flooding so this is one serious weather day to keep an eye on for sure.
